Well, since one of my last pictures was seen by some people as offending, I rather title descripted it this way, even there is nothing against forum rules (I've seen much worse sigs). Here is my new pic.

Few words about it: It is first piece from serie I want to make "Mythical Greece" but other pictures will be hardly possible to present here (since yes, there will be nudity as a part of mythical Greece). I haven't presented this picture anywhere yet, so d2jsp community is first to see it. This picture has original size dimensions 46.8 x 33.1in in 300 dpi (magazine cover quality in size of A0) and it is combination of 11 pictures (most of them are medium size 6x7 scans). Shot of girl was taken in the studio, these separate pictures are:

1. girl, 2. sky, 3. water, 4. mountains in the back, 5. rocks in water, 6. horse, 7. ships, 8. temple 1, 9. temple 2, 10. tree, 11. beach

Looking forward for criticism :)

Um..wow o_o Amazing manip, love Ancient Greece.

The only thing that seems off to me is the lighting at her back, should the shadows be so harsh when the sun is hitting her there? Mainly like the left of her face and such.

Seriously great depth though.

AHh there is the photography you used to do! Very cool. You put a lot of effort into these than I realize. I can't say anything about c&c since I really don't know what I'd say is wrong with this photo.

Amazing composition :)
The light source seems to be at the wrong place when looking at her face though, for the rest it's great.

the only things that bother me are aswell the lighting, which is very good but not perfect, and the "rocks" in the background, which are supposed to look foggy, but appear in a lower quality than the rest instead. at least to me that is.

thx all for inputs :) i see there much more mistakes than these mentioned ... regarding sky, this is best so far i have, waiting for new pic, just need good weather (all manipulations i make are made to just simply change picture in layer and work is done), same is with rocks in water ... i hate these lol, but its best I have so far. same is with ships, these are downloaded from internet, since i have no picture to substitute it, as soon as i find greek ship to take picture of, i change it :)

btw. just for idea of changes i made in all pictures, here is one used (beach picture) which is actually combination of these 2 pictures:

mork you mean work? :) in this picture it is not so noticeable, but there is in original size it is pretty well done, just downsizing of that huge pic is decreasing its quality a lot ... also there is pretty nice contour light on her face from side of sun, but you cant see it in this size at all
